I'll be glad to take this one; comments to follow in the next 4-7 days. Thanks in advance for your work on it! -- Khazar2 (talk) 17:45, 13 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you for that.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:52, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Okay, this looks very good on a first pass. I'll sit down later this afternoon and do a few source checks, look at image licensing, etc., but I don't anticipate any problems there. A few comments below in the meantime:


 * Not an action point, but just wanted to comment that the picture of the pony swim is quite lovely. Actually, this has excellent images throughout.
 * " initiation of dedicated steamboat service Chincoteague and Franklin City in 1876" -- should this have a "between" or a "to" in it?
 * Chincoteague Inlet, a break in the barrier island system, occurs near Chincoteague Island, at the southern end of Assateague Island, that shelters Chincoteague from the Atlantic and that stretches north almost thirty miles to Ocean City, Maryland. -- could this be split into two sentences? The clauses pile up here in a slightly confusing way.
 * "a majority for leaving the Union was had" -- the "was had" here seems a bit awkward; is it possible to just say "there was also a majority for leaving the Union in..."
 * "got in hot water" -- should be rewritten per WP:IDIOM-- but hilarious detail -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:42, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree on the ponies, the only thing I wonder is if the top and right side should be cropped a bit to make the horses bigger … I've done what you've suggested so far, thanks for reviewing.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:05, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
